Basic info
Behavior

Appearance
The Dune Runner uses Atlas' Rhino model. It has scaly-like armor on its head, back and sides. It's horn has characteristic shape and a pattern that glows in the dark. It is about as big as a Rex.

Combat
General
Dune Runner is probably the easiest of the three "dome" minibosses (other two being File:Mod Fixed Extinction Glacial Drake.png Glacial Drake and File:Mod Fixed Extinction Naga.png Naga ). It only has attacks that deal damage and sometimes slows the player down. Its health pool is average and damage output the lowest of the three.
Strategy
The cheapest way to deal with Dune Runner is to use a Net Projectile and beat it while its immobilized.
Health draining tames likes of Thylacoleo, Allosaurus or File:Mod Fixed Extinction Nileodon.png Nileodon can dispatch this rhino the quickest.
A group of mid to late game tames likes of Mammoth, Direbear, Rex or Spino should be sufficient to deal with this boss.
Newly added Rhyniognatha can be used to glue the miniboss in resin even for only a few seconds.
Weaponry
Aside from mentioned net projectiles, good quality firearms can be brought, as File:Mod Fixed Extinction Brachyura.png Brachyura can aggro on the player or its tames and possibly drain dino's health with its recoil damage.
Dangers
The central zones inhabited by Dune Runner are also home to File:Mod Fixed Extinction Brachyura.png Brachyura and E-Thorny Dragon , which can do much more potential damage than the Rhino. Watch out for your surroundings.
Weakness
Rhino for some reason deals much less damage than its base damage is. This makes even level 150 with default damage values unable to deal over 100 damage with single attack.
Spotlight
Notes/Trivia
- Dune Runner is the only dome miniboss that isn't aggressive and doesn't have special immunities like E-creatures sharing habitat with it.
